Explore, Climb,
and Touch!
Touch - a - truck is returning:
Sat Nov 11, 2023 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST
Warner Park, 1100 McCallie Ave, Chattanooga, TN, 37404
Put your imagination into high gear!
Touch-a-Truck Chattanooga is a family-friendly, hands-on event that offers opportunities for children to EXPLORE, CLIMB, and TOUCH trucks of all kinds, including emergency response vehicles, heavy machinery, and other equipment.
Kids will also have the opportunity to meet the personnel who protect, serve, and build our community.
Learning will come alive when children connect these gigantic vehicles to our Tennessee economy and possible careers like farming, manufacturing, construction, and public service.
Quiet hour will be from 9AM-10AM for those who are more sensitive to noise and flashing lights.
Enjoy food trucks, face painting, and more!
Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate on the day of the event.

About Junior League of Chattanooga:
Junior League of Chattanooga (JLC) is a volunteer organization for women interested in making a positive impact in their community. Founded in 1917, our League is the second oldest in the South and is part of the Association of Junior Leagues International.
JLC empowers women through leadership training and development to take action in their communities. Members of the League are accomplished collaborators who build coalitions, identify community needs, and develop effective and responsive programs to meet those needs.
Money raised from Touch-A-Truck goes to support JLC’s A League of Learners initiative, which is focused on fostering lifelong learners in the Chattanooga community. Junior League supports Hamilton County's schools, teachers, children, and adults through funding for special projects and partnerships with other local organizations to provide an active volunteer base.
